Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
CONCEPT
Portfolio assessment is a learner-centred, continuous method that uses a purposeful collection of work to show growth over time.
Its core cycle includes learner self-assessment, reflection, goal setting, and the use of evidence to improve teaching and learning.
APPLICATION
Statement A conflicts with the collaborative dialogue and guidance used in portfolio work; collaboration is not prohibited.
Statement B is too narrow because a portfolio records process, progress, reflection, and future goals, not achievements alone.
Statement C fits because learners assess their progress and set ongoing learning goals.
Statement D fits because reflection on feelings and experiences is part of reflective portfolio practice.
Statement E fits because portfolio evidence links assessment with decisions about teaching and learning.
CROSS-CHECK
The learner–reflection–instruction cycle is represented by C, D, and E. Statements A and B contradict the collaborative and developmental nature of portfolios. Therefore, the result is C, D and E only.
CONTRAST
B and C only combines an achievement-only view with ongoing learner self-assessment and omits reflection and instructional alignment.
D and E only includes reflection and instructional alignment but omits learner participation in monitoring progress and setting goals.
A, B and D only includes two restrictive statements and omits the progress-monitoring and instructional-use features.
